I have a wasabi plant 3

Hey I still have a wasabi plant!

After just 1 day of sitting in it’s water, the water gets this greasy looking film on top of it. It almost looks like someone has spilled vegetable oil into the water or something.

I’ll try to get a picture of that gunk for next time. Do any other plants do this? I guess this is why the water needs to be changed daily!

I notice I’m getting some whithering little sprouts on the side, but the main three stalks are going strong.

Go wasabi. GO.

Should I trim this or something? What’s what deal?

    Your wasabi plant is about as old as my hair (shaved is my common style). Let’s hope I have a nice healthy afro by the time you harvest it.

    Harvey – just change the water and talk to it and ignore the withering things. It will tell you what it needs and it’s up to you to listen and hear. (Grasshopper) What were your instructions? Are you supposed to ever put it in soil? Because at the rate this thing is growing I wonder if you have a pot big enough to keep it going in water!

    I think mr. wasabi is in trouble Kitty. The next picture I post might be pretty grim!

    There are some automatic filtration units for giving your cat or small pet clean water. It constantly filters and recycles the water in a small resevoir. This might be an ideal condition for your plant to be in, and you wouldn’t have to give it as much attention. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be free. But, I think they are only about $30US.
